Coming from Wired, I’d hope the article would have a more technology focused approach,
Wired is for people who want to talk about technology without actually taking about technology.

But Hanlon’s razor says you shouldn’t.
All right, we got a razor fight!
Do you like commercials? And how much are you willing to pay for TV?
If the answers are “no” and “zero”, then that’s going to affect how much TV you/we watch, even if you/we like the TV shows.
OpenAI scraped the Internet, legally and illegally to power ChatGPT.
I’m not a huge OpenAI fan, but it’s not yet been determined that they acted illegally. I believe the matter is still being pursued in court.
Wired articles are generally about interesting topics but take a sensationalist click-bait approach. I usually just skim the headline and look up the info somewhere more reputable if it sounds important.
For example, here’s some info from the USDA:
Plastic storage containers such as margarine tubs, take-out containers, whipped topping bowls, and other one-time use containers should not be used in microwave ovens. These containers can warp or melt, possibly causing harmful chemicals to migrate into the food.

“Lastly, I’ve intentionally done this work in a way that will, I hope, prove illegible and hostile to summary in media reports”
lel I like the way this person thinks. Did a quick read, is worth re-reading.
I’m pretty sure they were being sarcastic.
It’s “enswastification.”
artificial general intelligence - the thing LLMs claim to be
The major GPT-based systems will deny being AGIs. Most companies will also deny this. Is anyone reputable saying LLMs are AGIs?
Well, tensions were building, then there was an Incident, now they are trying a reconciliation so there will be a moment of calm. See here for more info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_of_abuse
AI has gone through several cycles of hype and winter. There’s even a Wikipedia page for it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter
Of course it’s valuable to discuss the dangers and inequities of a new technology. But one of the dangers is being misled.
Right? I don’t understand why people on the fediverse are getting excited about this. At best, Reddit will have admins to insta-wipe anything objectionable. At worst, Reddit will point to the increased engagement as a sign that the protesters gave up and came back.
If they only took money once, that’d be acceptable. But like bullies and addicts, if you give them money once they just keep coming back for more.
Them: “How do people even make money on there then?”
You: “The same way I’m making money off of you now.” (pause) “I don’t. We’re just friends.”
Like what is .ml?
It’s the top level domain of the nation of Mali. But in this case, I’ve seen it referred to as an abbreviation for “Marxist-Leninist” because those Lemmy admins are Communists.
I mean… forbidding any discussion of unpopular actions taken by Russia is pretty much an example of promoting their own views.
Yeah, when I was looking for a post-redit home I checked out beehaw.
Strike 1: no downvotes
Strike 2: application period to create an account
Strike 3: I read the beehaw mod’s “philosophy” posts and I got the general idea of what they were saying, but they just sounded a little… odd. Like they were thinking things through and were going around in circles without really getting anywhere. By contrast, the tildes.net philosophy posts seemed well-thought-out and very readable.
Noscript extension on Firefox still works.
Though if you want to support quality reporting, paying for a nytimes account is not a bad idea.
